Alcatel-Lucent 1643 AMS - Node creation

Node creation
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Node
A node is literally “a point at which subsidiary parts originate or center.” So, in other
words the NE or the node is the central collection point of its various parts. Creating a
node means, then, identifying this central point (the NE name and address) and
inputting the exact parts comprising the node. All of this information is compiled and
stored in the Management Information Base.
Management information base
The Management Information Base (MIB) is the provisioning information stored in the
database of the NE. This includes the configuration of the units within the NE, the
name and type of the NE, as well as addressing information and network information
necessary for management.
Confirm MIB
Confirming the MIB will send all of the basic NE information that has been entered to
the System Controller. This is an essential step in the creation of the NE.
Update MIB
The MIB can be updated rather than confirmed, if the MIB already exists and there
have been few changes made. This operation can be advantageous as it takes
considerably less time than that of confirming the MIB.
Isolated state
Arriving from the factory, the 1643 AM or 1643 AMS is in an isolated state. This
means that communication via DCN is not possible. In other words, no association
with the ITM-SC can be established while the network element is in the isolated state.
To enable an association with the ITM-SC the network element must be brought out of
the isolated state. To do so, use the ITM CIT to either change or re-select any of the
″Provisioned DCN Information″ parameters. Once this is done, the network element
will be removed from isolation.
